🚚 ATTENTION CITY OF ALVIN FOOD TRUCK OPERATORS 🚚
If you currently hold a Mobile Food Vendor/Food Truck permit with the City of Alvin, there is an important upcoming change from the State of Texas.
Beginning July 1, 2026, mobile food vendors will be required to obtain a Mobile Food Vendor License through the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Cities will no longer issue the primary health permits for mobile food vendors.
This new statewide licensing program, created through House Bill 2844, is intended to allow licensed mobile food vendors to operate throughout Texas under one state-issued license instead of obtaining separate permits in multiple cities.
Food truck operators are encouraged to begin reviewing the new requirements and application process as soon as possible.
Official State of Texas information and application details can be found here: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/retail-food-establishments/permits-retail-food-establishments/mobile-food-vendors
Questions regarding licensing requirements should be directed to the State licensing department.
